Videos are continually being added as additional courses, collaborations and affiliations are developed. A full list of titles, over 70, can be requested by emailing info@vetbiotech.com viewed by clicking on the following link: Media Library List. Videos are stored on dedicated streaming servers and provided as streaming video. This means that video is visualized as soon as it is initiated, without needing to wait for it to download, which is similar to how movies are viewed on ABC.com. Veterinary Bioscience Institute's Media Library platform has been designed by our Information Technology staff with laboratory animal science and biomedical communities in mind.

Videos are subdivided into general topics, such as anesthesia and analgesia or surgery. Additionally, the video library is easily searchable. The Media Library also includes a ‘My Briefcase’ function which allows you to store your favorite videos for quick access. Participants can rate videos and also leave comments (Figure 1).  

Individual subscription pricing is as follows:
